Founded in February 2016, the SAIC is the voice of the Italian scientific community particularly interested in the ancient Mediterranean civilizations, in relation to the historical and archaeological sciences, the history of art, the conservation, and to the enhancement and restoration of cultural heritage.
The SAIC is autonomous, but it acts in agreement with the local institutions concerned (for Tunisia: the Agence de Mise en Valeur du Patrimoine et de Promotion Culturelle and the Institut National du Patrimoine), with the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, with the Italian Institute of Culture and the Italian Embassy in Tunis, and then with other academic and scientific associations, foundations, regional, national and international institutions, both for cooperation and for support and patronage.
This monograph examines the first nine years of activity, under Attilio Mastino’s presidency, and presents the methods, the protagonists and the benefactors that have allowed to achieve the objectives set.
Mots-clés – Didon, Énée, Phéniciens, Iarbas, Muxitains, Utique, Sources classiques, Carthage, Mythes.
Résumé – Ces pages entendent concourir au débat sur le thème du Colloque par une approche qui s’inscrit dans le cadre du panel intitulé aux « Représentations ». Il s’agit de soumettre à un examen approfondi les récits sur la fondation de Carthage. Ces récits, quoique bien connus, peuvent être examinés à nouveau pour observer les différents volets de la question : attitudes, protagonistes, sources, relectures, acteurs et identités. On met d’abord en évidence les attitudes des protagonistes étrangers et autochtones (accueil, ruse, amitié, commerce, menace de guerre, etc.), respectivement développées par Elissa/Didon, ses compagnons les Tyriens fugitifs, les habitants du lieu et leurs voisins, les envoyés d’Utique, les Africains et leurs rois. Ensuite, on a suivi pas à pas les sources classiques dont on dispose (ainsi Timée de Tauromenion, Caton l’Ancien, Virgile, Appien, Trogue-Pompée, Solin, et d’autres), pour mettre en exergue les relectures que des différents acteurs ont fait de ces traditions, à diverses époques, afin de définir les identités respectives. Dans cet effort, on arrive jusqu’aux portraits des Carthaginois « devenus autochtones » au fil du temps, après avoir été contraints de quitter le « pays de leurs ancêtres ».
